My router's interface has like 6 places to put DNS1 and DNS2... maybe because it is DSL? I put those numbers in every place I could but still am able to connect to any dirty site.

If my parents did this, I would have been savvy enough to get around it in a matter of days. I remember getting around similar measures at the age of 12

Well, if it's well-implemented, you force users to use your gateway's recursive DNS resolver and then firewall off all access to external DNS sites except for the gateway itself. That, in combination with a restrictive egress policy goes a long way to making things difficult.

Not perfect since it blocks the same for all users.

Look into Untangle. They have a free version, but to really manage things you need to at least pay for the full web filter add on app. You'll need to have two network adapters in the mini pc, and set it up "inline", so that your internet connection goes in one nic and back out the other.

The problem is, my ISP service is only usable through their router which does not have the function to set the times. I have my router hooked up to that but then anyone with an ethernet cable can just plug it in to the unconfigured router.

I have heard a lot about pfSense and really want to try it but ... which computer on the network would I install it on?

It would be used as a router/ gateway. Ideally, it would sit between the internet and all of your users. We use an old Pentium 2 with 2 ethernet cards (one in, one out) and an old router as an access point.
